5 Peaks Running Race @ Gold Bar Park

Sunday July 26th, I finished 12th place out of 13 in my category age 40 to 49. It took me 50 minutes & 44 seconds for a total of 6.5 kms. Average heart rate =175 Max =185 The total elevation gain was 246 feet. Power in Watts Average =227  Max =391

I tried my best today and enjoyed the race. I was feeling a little bit of fatigue however I pushed myself as hard as I could go. This was a trail race. The course got changed because of all of the rain. The new course was pretty fun and I enjoyed it because we ran up the big long hill to Gold Stick Park and then to Rundle Park and finished in Gold Bar Park. 

A huge thanks to 5 Peaks and all the volunteers for putting on the race. The temperature was 24 degrees Celsius.

Canada Day Running Race 2026 @ Legislature Grounds

Wednesday July 1st, I finished 77th place out of 156 overall men & 12th place out of 31 in my category age 40 to 49. It took me 32 minutes & 58 seconds for a total of 5 kms. Average heart rate =183 Max =194 The total elevation gain was 112 feet. Power in Watts Average =269  Max =384

I tried my best today and had fun. I absolutely loved the course because right at the start we ran down the big hill and then my favourite part was at the end of the race just before the finish line we ran up the big hill as the course was an out and back. I’m very happy with my result considering that I have only ran 36.5 km’s this year.

A huge thanks to The Running Room and all the volunteers for putting on the race. It was great that they served us pancakes and coffee after the race.For results click here null
